E. Middleton of IMarion, now a retiredmerchant and one of the veteransof that conflict, began forty-fiveyeaVs ago to suffer intensely withstomach trouble. Try as he would, hen no a f r\ vnliOi'o tlilClUUIiU uimocu uuaui^ cw i v.iiv 'condition, which he finally came tolook upon as a Nemesis. Hundreds ofdollars he spent in direct attempts tocombat this trouble, ?and hundreds,perhaps thousands of dollars he indirectlylost because of impaired healthand decreased efficiency.But, after his trouble had forced himto retire from business perhaps yearsearlier than he would had he been nor- jmally healthy, he found in Tanlac. the iImaster medicine, he says, just whathe needed to relieve his ailment,'though it had steadily strengthenedits held upon him during the forty- !five years of his suffering.Mr. Middleton is a well known and |highly respected citizen of Marion. Ha !voluntarily came to Dr. W. L. Harrel- ison. manager of the Karreljon Drug jCo.. Marion, and gave the following re- jmarkable endorsement of the master;medicine, Tanlac.Tanlac has done something for Mr.Midd'eton dozens of other medicines;failed to do, and he emphatically says 'so. "I can not say too much for yourmedicine, Tanlac," said the iveteran. |That statement should settle many jdoubts. He is in position to know, and !he. like all other substantial citizens, jdoes not recommend a medicine unless jhe is sure of its value. His statement jfollows:"I suffered from stomach troub1e for iiforty-five years and I have spent hun- jdreds of dollars for medicines, but jncne brought me relief. Finally, after |years cf suffering with ill health that:probably was directly brought on by?Iindigestion, I tried Tanlac and it \worked wonders for me."Mv trouble became so bad t'nat Iwas unable to retain anything on my jstomach. I had no appetite and could ,not eat. . My s'eep was broken and un- jrefreshing. My system became gen- jorally run down. When m\ trouble jwas growing worse, I was a merchant jin Marion, but, as a consequence of jmy pnysicai ms, i was iuiutru iu slu^merchandising and live a quiet life.Before I took Tanlac, I would navefantastic dreams at night, but, thanksto Tanlac, I now sleep soundly and Inever know what it is to have a draam."You can imagine how dreary theprospect was for me, and I was wellalong in years. It was a happy dayfor when I saw the advertisementof Tanlac. I bought a bottle, and Iobtained relief from the very first dose.I have taken six bottles, and expect tocontinue taking it, for I believe it isthe medicine for me."T nnrl Arcn Ta T"l 1?) andI tdU IlCdi UllJ" tuuuiuc v.? _recommend it.

It was renderedin the appeal of Frank R. Brushaberfrom t'.oe action of the Xew York fedpralcourt in refusing to enjoin theSouthern Pacific, of which Brushaberwas a stockholder, from paying the tax.The case raised substantially everypoint involved in all the five incometax cases before the court with the-exception of the effect of the provisionallowing mining corporations to makea 5 per ^ent deduction annually fromgross income for depletion of mines.Tnis provision is regarded as being anamendment to the old corporation tax.Within the Iiaw.The basic error of those who attackedthe constitutionality of the tax,Chief Justice White held, was in regardingthe 16th amendment as empoweringthe United States to levy adirect tax wit'nout apportionmentamong the states according to population.In substance the court held thatthe 16th amendment had not empoweredthe federal government to levy anew tax, but that "the whole purpose" f the amendment was to relieve allincome taxes from a consideration ofthe source whence tne income wasderived/'Those opposing the tax had urgedthat the 16th amendment provided thatincome from "wnatever suuiuc ucrived''should be taxed without regardto the apportionment among the States,iliiiey argued that the Underwood-Simmonsincome tax provision by reasonof exemptions of certain incomes fromtaxation had not come within thetVia omDridmPnfili fc?1 iim ? Ul iutChief Justice White said the powerof the federal government to levy anincome tax had never been questioned.Quoting at length from the famous incometax decisions of 1895, he declaredthat the court then recognized the factthat "taxation on income was in thenature of an excise entitled to be enforced as such unless and until it wasconcluded that to enforce it wouldamount to accomplishing the resultwhich the requirement as to the apportionmentof direct taxation was adoptedto prevent, in which case t'ne need3 ^ o T? 1vould arise to disregard uie IV/I in auu |consider the substance alone and hencecuuject the tax to regulation as to apportionmentwhich otherwise as an excisewould not apply to it."To Avoid Trouble.The court then decided, he added,that the effect of the tax on the incomefrom real estate was the sameas if a direct tax had been leviea onthe real estate and that it was with aview of obviating such questions thatthe amendment had been adopted.Inasmuch as the amendment had notI' onferred t'ne power to levy an incometax, said the chief justice, it could notI be interpreted as embracing limitations| as to the nature and character of in!come to be taxed. To consider it asJ unbracing limitations, such as not au;r i-7'm cr o nrriffroccivo t d v ll o rplata/lwas irreconcilable with the purpose ofthe amendment. He explained that theuniformity of excise taxes required bythe constitution was geographical uniformityof applicacion as to classes.The chief justice further held thatthe tax did not -violate the "due process"provision of the constitution byo " O ^ T 1?
